Feropenem (faropenem) pediatric dose: 5 mg/kg per dose orally, three times daily
= 15 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses.

Example: a 12 kg child would receive 60 mg per dose, three times daily.

Use only when prescribed for a confirmed/suspected bacterial infection. The exact formulation concentration, maximum dose, duration, renal status, allergy to penicillins/beta-lactams, and local product label must be checked by the prescriber or pharmacist. A pediatric review reports this commonly recommended regimen as 15 mg/kg/day in three doses (faropenem pediatric review).
